Bromsgrove District Council District Plan Review Issues and Options Consultation Bromsgrove District Council District Plan Review Issues and Options Consultation Bromsgrove District Council (BDC) is preparing to review the Bromsgrove District Plan which was adopted in January 2017. This early review is a requirement of the adopted plan, as the Council has to find land for additional identified housing development needs not allocated in the current plan. The Government also encourages local planning authorities to review their Local Development Plans every five years, and in order to complete the review in good time, it is necessary to start work now. Consultation is a key part of how we prepare planning policies and active consultation with Parish Councils is important to getting the views of many of the residents across the district. Officers are currently putting together a consultation strategy and looking to see what type of events you think your parish would benefit from. Ideas from previous consultation events include; workshops, planning for Real exercises to engage people and aid discussions, and exhibitions at local parish events. The Issues and Options Consultation is the first stage of the consultation process for the District Plan Review where you will have the opportunity to comment on any issues you wish to be considered and addressed and the options for shaping the policies within the reviewed District Plan. Subject to Council approval there will be events in August and September on the Issues and Options for the District Plan review and would be grateful if you could identify if you would like the District Council to carry out any of the following events in your parish: Exhibition day This would be an event where District Council Officers would attend with the consultation material. Officers will be present to explain the documents and answer questions from residents as they turn up throughout the course of the event. This would be held at a suitable venue somewhere within your parish and normally take place during the week, normal hours would be 10am to 8pm. Attendance at Parish Council event Subject to officer availability, we will be happy to attend events with our consultation materials that Parish Councils are already running, such as Parish Council meetings or summer fayres etc. We will make every effort to have officers available for the duration of the event but at the very least we can provide an unmanned display and forms for people to respond to the consultation. Continued Focussed Workshops We can also carry out more focussed workshops using a number of different ‘planning for real’ tools; these can be done as part of the exhibition day or as a separate event. In order for these to be successful numbers of participants may have to be limited for some of the workshop events. If you would like to know more about the consultation, please feel free to contact me. Please note if we do not hear back from you, we will assume you do not require particular consultation events in your area.

  • The Worcestershire Biodiversity Action Plan
    The Worcestershire Biodiversity Action Plan Abstract Following its commitment to the 1992 Convention on Biological Diversity the UK began to develop a policy and strategy framework, beginning with Biodiversity Action Plans and recently with a focus on ecological networks and green infrastructure. This project contributed to Worcestershire’s Biodiversity Action Plan review process by demonstrating how green infrastructure (GI) can be identified and delivered in the Urban Habitat Action Plan. GI provides multifunctional benefits, so will help encourage biodiversity through a wide network of green spaces and corridors in urban and natural environments. It is crucial that biodiversity is conserved and sustainably managed for future generations because it provides direct and indirect services for people, such as food and climate regulation. i Worcestershire Biodiversity Action Plan 2018 H14 Urban HAP Table of Contents Abstract ................................................................................................................................................... i Table of Contents .................................................................................................................................... ii Table of Figures ...................................................................................................................................... iii Abbreviations ......................................................................................................................................... iv 1 Introduction

From Kidderminster-based Sir Rowland Hill, the originator of the penny postage system and developer of the modern postal service, which was adopted worldwide, to playing a major role in manufacturing and developing technologies around the world, such as helping to make the world’s first jet engine (Redditch) and being home to one of the top ten and internationally renowned independent schools in the country (Bromsgrove), North Worcestershire is defined by a constant drive to innovate, progress and excel. This entrepreneurial and innovating spirit is embraced today by many of the 17,500 businesses based in North Worcestershire, accounting for 52.5% of all businesses in Worcestershire.

  • Housing Need and Housing Land Supply Position Statement (September 2018) 1 Introduction
    Greater Birmingham and Black Country Housing Market Area (GBBCHMA) Housing Need and Housing Land Supply Position Statement (September 2018) 1 Introduction 1.1 This second position statement draws upon the Strategic Growth Study (SGS, GL Hearn/ Wood, 2018), which was commissioned by the 14 Local Planning Authorities to establish the extent to which the Greater Birmingham and Black Country Housing Market Area1 (GBBCHMA) can meet its own housing needs up until 2031 and 2036. The SGS was published on all participating local authorities’ websites along with an initial position statement2. 1.2 The statement extracts the most relevant information regarding housing need and supply from the SGS and updates as appropriate where additional information is available. It also sets out the timetables for plan reviews for GBBCHMA authorities. It is anticipated that this statement will provide a starting point from which future Statements of Common Ground, as required by the revised 2018 National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), can develop. 1.3 The Birmingham Development Plan (BDP, adopted January 2017) identifies a shortfall of 37,900 dwellings for the period 2011 – 31. Policy TP48 states that: The Council will also play an active role in promoting, and monitor progress in, the provision and delivery of the 37,900 homes required elsewhere in the Greater Birmingham Housing Market Area to meet the shortfall in the city. This will focus on: The progress of neighbouring Councils in undertaking Local Plan reviews to deliver housing growth to meet Birmingham’s needs. The progress of neighbouring Councils in delivering the housing targets set out in their plans.

However a large subsidy is currently required from the taxpayer to maintain these services which may lead to cuts being necessary in the near future as a result of the national economic situation. It was with this in mind that we wanted to investigate what other Councils have done in order to maintain services, and in many cases improve them. We sent a simple questionnaire to a number of Councils and were very pleased with the quantity and quality of responses that we received. This led to us visiting Chase Leisure Centre where we met representatives of Cannock Chase District Council and also meeting with the Leader of Tamworth Borough Council.
